Edge lighting - is it working for you? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Doesn't seem to be working for me. I know that with the S10+, I used the Edge Lighting Fix app (https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/themes/app-edge-lighting-fix-apps-actual-edge-t3935319) but not even that was working.
Just wondered if anyone has it working and for what apps it's working.
Thank you!

Mine works. Make sure you have "All available apps" selected

It is working for me. I have selected Messages, Signal, Whatsapp and it works without an issue. Sad thing though that Facebook Messenger is not there because Facebook wants us all to us their crappy bubbles.

I see it's now working for NextSMS but I can't seem to get it to work for Aquamail....

Maybe it is the same problem as with the fb messenger. The app is just not compatible with it or the other way around. Is the app listed in the edge lighting menu? If not then there is a compatibility issue.

I had it working on my S10+ with the Edge Lighting FIx app.

Have you tried "Glimpse Notifications" by @xrad? Using this application, I can get notifications to display when the screen is off, but I don't understand why I require a 3rd party application to do something that was intended by Samsung. The mentioned application is not meant to run along with Samsung's Edge Lighting, but doing so, Edge Lighting takes priority and actually works...

I'll give it a shot!

I am running the same configuration. My Edge Lighting is working fine. It is just the FB Messenger that is not compatible so I use Edge Lighting+ just for that one particular notification.

Try to select apps individually and test it. All of the mentioned settings are the same on my phone with the exception that my lockscreen only shows icons but this is irrelevant to Edge Lighting.

Yes, I've tried individually selecting the apps and toggled it to select all available apps.
I've generated push notifications via multiple apps (Google Calendar, Twitter, Microsoft Outlook, Gmail and Push Notification Tester) these applications trigger Edge Lighting when the screen is on, but not when the screen is off and phone locked.
I have mentioned earlier, Show Edge Lighting is set to "Always", I get the same result when I set it to "While screen is off".
The problem is having 'Edge Lighting' to work when the phone is locked and screen is off. (Without relying on 3rd Party applications from Google's Play Store like aodNotify, LED Me Know, NotifyBuddy, Notification LED or Glimpse Notifications).

You dont have to underline it, I understand what your problem is.
I think have found the solution to your issue :angel:
Install NiceLock for GoodLock applications and install Edge Lighting+ and be sure that this app is excluded from being put to sleep.

These applications are battery suckers, some of which require higher privilege than needed. I'd usually stay away from 3rd party tools especially when that particular feature is natively supported on the stock/official ROM.
Using an application that mimics a native function doesn't solve the problem, it ignores it.

I've already installed Samsung's GoodLock app including Edge Lighting+, it only provides you extra visual effects for Edge Lighting.
I don't see NiceLock on 'Good Lock' application, unless you're referring LockStar or NotiStar. I assume this is not an official application by Samsung.
I honestly don't think that it will solve the 'Edge Lighting when screen-off' problem that I have, this function should be working without 3rd party application.

Which applications do you mean? I am referring to your answer under the first quote.
I am proposing Edge Lighting+ because I cannot remember what I did to get it working on my S20U. I think that since installing Edge Lighting+ and excluding it from various battery optimizations it started working just fine.
NiceLock is an app that combines all GoodLock apps in one unified UI:

The S20U variant may be different to S20+ 5G... I am not sure.
I see the exact applications on "Good Lock" and more (such as NavStar, Home Up and NotiStar).
Installing some of these applications didn't have an affect on the functionality of Edge Lighting.
Yes, I've tried fiddling with battery optimizations and changed the phone's power state to high performance (which disables battery optimization totally), it still did not work.

I recall that I had to enable pop-up notifications for Whatsapp in order to get it working. I´ve done the same with Signal. Since Android 10 this option is greyed out in Whatsapp because it is not compatible anymore. Try smart pop-up view (Advanced features > Smart pop-up view) :good:
I think this fixed my issue with Edge Lighting back then. Give it a try and let me know. I did some XDA & brain digging and found out that Edge Lighting is only compatible with pop-up notifications that is why the smart pop-up view has to be activated.

I've just tried the 'Smart pop-up view' and enabled it for the following applications Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook and Push Notification Tester, none of them triggered Edge Lighting when the screen was off.
Edge Lighting worked when the screen was on (with and without Smart pop-up)
If you take a look at Settings -> Display -> Edge Screen -> Edge Lighting: You'll see the following option "Show Edge lighting while screen is off" <--- This option does not work (yes, I've also tried to set it to "always").

I don´t use the apps that you have mentioned but if they can be turned on in the Smart Pop-up View, then it should work with Edge Lighting. I have just tested it and when I turn off the Smart Pop-up view for Whatsapp, it does not turn on the Edge Lighting while screen is off (with AOD on). Sorry mate, I ran out of ideas

All good. We probably have a different issue entirely.
Was your problem app specific? For you, was it only 'Whatsapp' that didn't work while other application did, like e-mail notification, calendar notification etc or did any other application work for you? (excluding "whatsapp"). Because for me, it's every single application that supports Edge Lighting, that is not working while the screen is off.
Have you received the August update/patch ? Because I still haven't.
Also, I have the Exynos chip variant instead of Snapdragon, not sure if it it'll be related (different firmware maybe?)

I am using the Exynos variant and I am on ATGB Update so yes, I am on August security patch. Edge lighting worked since day one and I have already fixed its issues in the first week. My problem was with Signal, Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger. GMail worked right away but I have shut it down and the original SMS app worked as well. I had to enable Smart Pop-up View for Signal and Whatsapp, and install "Edge Lighting for all Apps" in order to get Messenger notifications as Edge Lighting.

I have same issue, but it seems to be at core of System. When my phone screen is off, or off locked, I get NO visual notifications at all, only sound. Screen never comes on, Edge won't light up. Works perfect if screen on and unlocked. I have same settings as shown in previous messages

[APP]AMOLED Notification Light "NotifyBuddy"

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
If not working for your phone, I'll suggest you to send me logs at [email protected]
To use it:
Install App.
Disable any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Give full screen permission(if any required for your phone)
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
Thats it.
For MIUI 11 devices make sure that AutoStart is enabled in App Info. Also check "Show on lock screen" permission in other settings.
Settings image: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1yxrLd5u7kLSGBwviKhXYqM21YLC8Dhiv
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen or use power button.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy
Working Video: https://youtu.be/vFKiHS_ZD-k
See settings for your phone for NotifyBuddy on this link: https://dontkillmyapp.com
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.
Give your feedback!!
Working great, good job!
What about System Apps (Phone, message etc.) ? I'm not able to find them in your app.
Gmail is missing as well and it is not a system app.
Thanks in advance!

Same here. Also, an off switch for each app would be more convenient instead of picking white colour.
This is just what I needed, works great on my phone. Thank you!
I would consider using this if and when you include system apps. They are the only ones I'm interested in getting notifications from. Thanks for your efforts
Fantastic
Brilliant
Go work for 1+
Show them how to do the job properly
Great start!! works like a charm, agree on the systems apps thing though..
Wow, Great App.:good:
Works Perfect.

@HarshBoy99 Hello! Thank you for the job you''re doing, but if you don't mind, i would like to point some important things.
You'r app uses a black overlay with a colorized dot in the corner, it's cool but there is a but. If The device is in a pocket, and you're using a pocket detection, the screen will turn on and show the pocket detection screen - what kinda annoying issue.
Another moment, again - becauses there is a use of black overlay, when there is already a notification panding and you recieve anothere on, there is a head-up notification with the all status bar info that shows up, again - kinda annoying.
As a recommandation - trigger the built-in AOD app instead of using a black overlay, that will fix the issues i've mentioned above + there will be an option to use fingerprint scanner on notifications.
Wish you the best!

Well I have included pocket detection in app, i.e if the LED is on and the sensor is covered the activity will be stopped. But if you have pocket mode on, it will show you the pocket mode screen for a brief moment and then switch off the display. This will help save battery if phone is in your pocket.
Yeah on that heads-up notification, I haven't found a way to get rid of this but it is only an issue of few seconds.
There are already many apps that bring on the default AOD display but it doesn't feel like an actual LED and moreover we can't change the appearance of AOD as it is a system app.
Thank You!
I wish there is an more option for WhatsApp. I do not want to receive LED from the Watsp group
Thanks

Thanks for the app.
I have a problem in my op6t.
When i use the app and the notification led is on, the unlock button does not works well, i mean, i have to push three or four times.
Sorry about my english, i hope you can understand me. ?

Power button does not wake phone when I receive any app notifications.

I have been using the app for some days now. I have also locked the app in recents to avoid it being killed or stop functioning. But when I get a notification, double tapping doesn't work instantly. Have to tap 4 times at least. Also, on unlocking the phone, I am in the Notify Buddy app instead.
App is great if you don't mind me offering suggestions I have a couple.
The light to move around in intervals across the top of the screen or even the two corners just to prevent possible burn in, say if you get a notification in the middle of the night or something and it blinks for hours on end (I know the chances are slim, but better to be safe than sorry)
Possibly an option to cycle the notification light if you have multiple notifications, so if I have a sms text and a messenger text it would blink once for the sms and once for messenger and cycle between them so I know I have 2 notifications.
An interval setting maybe how fast or slow for it to pulse or to keep it static. (If you choose to make it static warn it could possibly cause burn in)
If it's possible a way to keep the overlay active unless the notification is gone, I tested the app sending myself an sms text just to make sure everything was working I left the notification and the overlay didn't go back to the LED the screen just stayed black. If I'm not mistaken an actual notification light would stay active until the notification for said app was cleared.
That's all I really have for suggestions, I appreciate what you're doing with this app it's honestly the best alternative to any of the apps attempting to replicate a notification LED. I don't want you to think I don't like the app I'm just thinking of how my old phones with notification LED's behaved with notifications. Again thank you for your work and I hope my suggestions were something that could be of use.
Other then waking the phone this app is bloody great ?

Well this was exactly how I wanted for my app to function, but while testing it myself I observed that I had pending notification almost always and it would drain the battery exponentially. Therefore I went with notifying the user only while he is away from phone.

Edge lighting - notifications

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

This is unbeleaveable! It really works now for missed calls with latest update.
If there will be a solution for WA too, then it is a perfect app for me.

Sent the dev a message. With he solves that, I will probably buy pro version. It's the only thing that keep me away
I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.

Is it possible to receive Viber notification on this updated Always-on-display?

NOTIFICATION ACCESS for ALWAYS ON EDGE LIGHTING APP

Hi friends,
I hope in your help
I have a Xiaomi redmi note pro from a few days
On my precedent device I used Always On Edge lighting app by playstore
the app need the permissions for the notification access
but I allow this but the app continue to ask me the notification access so this not work
I make so:
I open the app
I tap to put the flag on notification access
it open the page of settings
I disable xiaomi service framework
I enable AOE
I enable xiaomi service framework
I go back
I watch the video to save
It telled me save succesfull
but the app ask me again the notification access
can someone help me?
Late reply, but anyway;
You have to open up phone settings, scroll down to "further settings" (right below "apps"), scroll down to choose "accessibilty", open the "more downloaded services" option. Check that AOE is set to "on".
Anyway, I just can't make AOE work as it should. I get notifications to show up, but since the screen light up for 30 sec's and then fade out to off, the notification also disappear. For instance, since screen always lights up on incoming calls, the notification disappears as soon as the screen goes black.
Anyone could help? I'm out of ideas....

Notification Icons not showing in status bar

Hi all -
Trying to see if this is normal behavior or a bug, but I have two notifications on my lock screen (Messages and Outlook). When I unlock the device, in the top left, I just see the clock and "AT&T". When I drag the status bar down, I see my messages and outlook notifications (they are not silent or minimized). Why would I want to see AT&T instead of these notifications? Is there an option I'm missing to remove the carrier info?
I'm having the same issue, you are not alone. I spent more than an hour going through every single setting, but found nothing on how to fix this issue.

Just to try and narrow the issue, are you also on an AT&T device?
Fair enough, my apologies.
I have Sprint, and this is happening on my Galaxy S20.

I think that is actually super helpful information. This appears to be a OneUI issue, rather than an android, carrier, or particular model issue. So it needs to somehow get reported to Samsung for a fix... Does anyone here know if there a public place where Samsung tracks bugs for these devices?
Or does anyone know a writer who would pick up this story for a media outlet to shine some light?
Just to try something, have you toggled the setting in status bar section that says show all notifications?
I'm taking about opening quick settings toggles, pressing the three dots menu and then status bar.
I hadn't tried that, no. However, I just did and that didn't change anything.
My wife has an S20 Ultra on AT&T, and she's seeing this as well. I know there's a way to request support or post your issue to the community in the Samsung Members app. I may try to do that from her phone later today.
I've had issues with app notifications and icon badges since the S8, they never seem to get them to work properly
Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk
UPDATE
I was using the trial for Sprint's Call Screener program. I turned it off earlier, and now I no longer see "Sprint" in the status bar. I see the icons like I should. I have no idea if that is what solved the problem or not, but I didn't receive an update today and that's the only thing I can remember changing.
Go to settings, display and change 'Full screen Apps' to Auto for all
I played with that setting. It didn't have an affect on the notification issue.

Vinsuja, that setting did not work for me, however you sent me on the right path. I have had this same issue with notification not showing. I found that the camera cut out setting is causing this. Go to settings > display > full screen apps > click 3 dots for advanced settings > turn on hide camera cutout. This adds a black bar at the top, but fixes the notification issue
Edit: You can turn the setting back off and notifications will appear. This seems to be an issue with the full screen UI
Try using QuickStar in Good Lock (if you don't have good lock yet, its in the galaxy store). Under "visibility of indicator icons" you can turn off "Network Information" on homescreen, lockscreen and Expanded QS panel, that should hide your AT&T/Sprint etc etc label in the status bar. Interestingly enough I have a Bell S20, by default for my region carrier name is not shown.. which is a bonus...

Question Vivo X80 Pro [Origin OS, CN Version] - Bugs & Experiences - Let's share

Dear Forum,
after scanning the x60 and x70 threads about notification issues I'm still struggling with missing notifications and badges for certain apps [in this case Signal and Threema]. What I did so far:
- uninstall com.vivo.pem via ADB App Control
- set notification settings correctly for the apps: (Allow notification, allow smart notification, Floating notifications on (Threema, Signal), Lock screen notifications on (Threema, Signal), display notification details on lock screen, Chats: priority display) // (Home Screen icon badges only for Whatsapp available for some reason)
- set single permission settings for the apps: autostart on, startup on, floating window on, desktop shotcuts on, display on lock screen on, background pop-ups on, Remove permissions and free up space off
- set display settings: show on the off-screen on, show on the lock screen on, show on the home screen on, show in the status bar on, notification method: original icon
- set battery settings correctly: Boost mode, saving mode off, high background power usage on, always on display on, optimize battery life off, auto enable battery saver off
[Phone settings: Drawer style, dark mode, Android Style control center, Vivo Origin System Launcher]
Whatsapp is working: Home Screen notifications, badges, also lock screen notifications - Threema and Signal are not working, driving me a bit crazy. "Sometimes" there is a notification sound, sometimes not. Starring at the lock screen with turned on blue ambilight, it sometimes appears, sometimes not. So my questions:
1) Is there anyone who has experience with Signal and Threema notifications on a Vivo device and could share his/her solution?
2) Should I uninstall also com.vivo.abe and com.iqoo.powersaving?
3) There are no badges for almost all third party apps (Whatsapp badges are working) - is there a way to change it, to get also badges for Signal, Threema, Telegram and so on? (Change Launcher?)
I appreciate your help!

I turned dark mode off, Threema notifications in the status bar are working like 70% now, sometimes they don't - that's so weird.
Is there a solutions for getting badges? Maybe changing the launcher?
Same problem with Google's Messages app, so can't see when I receive a SMS.
I hope they will fix this ASAP.

1) Set settings of the app like in 1st message
2) Set settings of battery/energy usage like in 1st message
3) Switch to bright/light-mode
4) restart phone
-> after doing that, almost 100% of all Threema message are shown as notification. Still struggling with AquaMail, but this will be fixed within next days.

Now at the moment everything seems to work even in dark mode, and even with AquaMail, I just followed this instruction:
https://www.chinahandys.net/vivo-china-version-einrichten/ (German)
No badges in AquaMail but in WhatsApp they work, but I dont need that.

I knew that tutorial before. For me the notifications in status bar and home screen for Threema and Signal did not work having dark mode turned on. Switching to the brigth/light mode the notifications work perfectly.
Considering the badges - I get used to it not having badges for messaging apps.
Just for the readers, you can turn on badges on the home screen for the following apps (Origin OS, Dim9000):
- Designs
- Settings
- iMusic
- iManager
- Kuaishou
- Messages
- Notes
- Recorder
- Telephone
- Clock
- V-Appstore
- Vivo
- Vivo.com
- VivoCloud
- Whatsapp

1) set settings like in post 1
2) unmute chat in telegram (telegram itself)
3) switch into boost mode (battery settings)
4) allow background activity (battery settings)
5) turn off dark mode
6) restart phone
-> telegram is working perfectly for me with settings from post 1 and dark mode turned off. Always restart your phone to get things work. To be honest, this origin os behaves sometimes really strange :/ hope you get it work.

You are right about origin os...thanks again, I didn't put previously in boost mode and I only disabled com.vivo.pem...do you think that disabling is not enough?

What about your battery settings? Maybe before changing the display settings you need to do step 7) and 8) - but I've no clue why your display settings are grayed out. Have you deleted certain systemapps with ADB?
If you find the solution, just share it here.

I tried several things now. Going back some steps and checking again ... always stays grayed out.
I deleted only vivo.pem and some Bloatware. Nothing what has to do with display settings ...
So at the moment I dont know what to do next, but with rest of settings all notifications working for me. Only lockscreen notifications dont show up as well as tiktok notification. But thats more or less OK for me.
If I find out how to change Display notification settings I will share here, for sure.

thank for the hint,I think bug in darkmode is the root cause,I can get the notification sound but no visual in notification center, clearmode is ok!
I have reported this system level bug to the PM of iQOO(subsidiary of vivo, they share the same OS) via weibo, hope they can fix it in the later release!
